| Course Description |
Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field incorporating the principles of biology, chemistry, engineering, and medicine to create biological substitutes of native tissues for scientific research or clinical use. Specific applications of this technology include studies of tissue development and function, investigating drug response, and tissue repair and replacement. This area is rapidly becoming one of the most promising treatment options for patients suffering from tissue failure. The course will cover the fundamental introduction of tissue engineering and cells, biomaterials, and scaffolds in tissue engineering, in vitro and in vivo, strategies, clinical applications of tissue engineering and ethical and regulatory issues in tissue engineering. |
